If you really want to speed things along, then go to the date and time settings on your phone and set the time ahead. You can set it ahead by hours, days, or whatever you want to. You’ll earn offline income equal to the amount of time that you cheated off of your timer. You can do this over and over, buying upgrades in between, to race through the game.

If you do this, though, then you won’t be able to set the time back to normal, because the “tap to collect” button will show a crazy negative number that will take away your income if you tap it. You can still keep cheating, but there is one other option.

That option is to prestige. When you have 10AC, you will be able to prestige. This will start you back over from the beginning, giving you a huge income boost. When you tap the prestige button, the pop-up warning will ask you if you want to reset everything. When this pop-up appears, go to the date and time settings and set the time back to normal. Then go back to the game and complete the prestige, and the game will be completely back to normal.

One of the main changes that happens when you prestige is that you will be unlock an entirely new set of items to crush. You can always go back to any of the old ones any time that you want to, or you can pick the new one – the choice is up to you. Your income boost will still be the same no matter which option you choose, so if you like the old shapes, go back to the old shapes.

The income boost is massive (for example, the first shape costs trillions to buy), but so is the price of everything. You’ll have to pay a ton in order to get the next shape, but you’ll progress through the shapes far more quickly because compared to the amount that you earn, everything will be far cheaper to buy.

You can prestige multiple times in this game, and you’ll get that kind of upgrade to your income every time you prestige. It takes an INSANELY long time to get to the point of affording the prestige the first time. Every time afterwards, it ends up becoming much cheaper.
